Skybox Home Beer Vending Machine

We don't usually say things like this, as we try to maintain our detached irony, but we're so excited about this one, we can barely contain ourselves. We have long sung the praises of the mini fridge - not only does it hold beer, but you don't have to go all the way to the kitchen to get it. Move over, you tiny fridge - we have seen the future, and it is the Skybox beer vending machine.

Think about it...it's like one of those vending machines they have at your office, but there's a twist. Actually two twists. Twist one - you don't have to put in quarters to get things out of it. Twist two - you can stock it with wonderful, tasty, nutritional beer, instead of that evil sugar water they're usually stocked with. As for the possible down sides, you have to stock it yourself, and you have to pony up for it in the first place, and it's not all that cheap. C'mon, though - it holds 64 cans (or 32 bottles), you can punch that big button every time you want a beer, and you're going to be the envy of your friends. Face it, if you're getting a tax refund this year, or you're just expecting permission to decorate your man cave, this is the gadget for you.

Oh yeah, the other selling point is that they're customizable. You can outfit yours to reflect your best beer brand, your favorite sports team, or your number one NASCAR driver, if you swing that way. So check out the Skybox site, and don't forget to invite us over for beers when you get yours.
